The Oscars: Predictions & My Picks

For this year’s Oscar ceremony, I offer two opinions. The first is who I think the Academy will choose and the second is who I would choose. In some cases it may be the same, but in many others it is not. With rumors of “The King’s Speech” sweeping all of the major awards, we’ll just have to wait and see what happens Sunday, February 27th.

As you go through these picks, you’ll certainly notice there is one particular film I favor. If you’ve seen my 2010 Ten Best List, than you know “Inception” is my choice for the best film of the year. I strongly believe the Academy snubbed director Chris Nolan in the Best Director category and I also believe the film was missing from the Best Film Editing category. Films like “The King’s Speech” come along every year. Films like “Inception” come along maybe once every 10 years. “Inception” is a film for the ages and regardless what film is revealed as Best Picture (it won’t be Inception), after seeing over 90 films in 2010, I know which one was truly the best.
